My slices have the wrapping overlapping about 1/4 or 1/3 from one side. Place the slice on a paper towel with the seam up and the short side to the left. Take forefinger and thumb and grasp the loose section, using your other three fingers to hold the slice in place. Pull up and to the left, fully exposing the 1/4-1/3 section of cheese.

Using the loose section of the wrapper, turn the cheese over. (Now you know why a paper towel is needed.) Peel the wrapper away from the entire back of the cheese (now face up). It works best if you pull away at a near-180° angle.

Are teeth allowed? I open the flap and grab the pastic in my teeth and then unwrap. pretty easy. No teeth, sounds like a lot of practice and manual dexterity. Are you doing it so you can make a sandwich, or are you doing it to show off?

As a snack, I like to roll up a slice of cheese in a slice of ham. Normally I unwrap the cheese first. Last night, I grabbed a slice of ham first. So I've got a wet piece of ham in one hand, and now I have to figure out how to unwrap the cheese without letting the wet ham or the sticky cheese touch the counter.

Yes, I could've put the ham back in the package. Yes, I could've set the ham on a plate. But I was intrigued with the challenge of not doing so after noticing how difficult it was to get any leverage on the cheese-wrapper.

Use your thumb to pop open the sides of the top flap one at a time. Hold the flap between your fingers, get your thumb under the cheese slice and push up. Should be able to almost completely unzip the sides that way. Then it's just peeling the cheese off the last piece of plastic.
